The Ball at Your Feet

: 84 Beginning of the League

Putting aside those upsetting things, the Ligue 1 game has already begun. What made Zhao Yaning happy was that Monaco immediately ushered in a red-hot victory in the second day of the game.

In fact, this did not surprise people.

Although last season, Monaco was ranked 14th in the league, and it still had the same points as the 15th place, but only six points away from the relegation zone, while Troyes ranked seventh in the league and only one step away from the European Championship. Far away, but both the media and the predictions of the handicap have all fallen to Monaco.

To say the reason, there is actually no reason. However, the name of Monaco was honed by the two generations of famous coaches Wenger and Tigana. Although Deschamps had a mess with the team last season, he is also a figure respected by the French. They only need to appear on the court. People will feel that they are very powerful.

Troyes is the latest in the Ligue 20 team. Their establishment year was 1986-after Platini won the European Cup for France. Short years is one aspect, and they have not had any decent results on the other. Therefore, when many people mention Troyes, they always feel that they cannot be compared with a strong team like Monaco.

"It's not just the media that see it this way, I know you see it. And think about it from another angle, the opponent might see it that way. They will think that they are lowering us. Therefore, whether their head coach is comforting or enthusiastic. Well, the psychological pressure is with them. Guys, break them down before they turn the pressure into motivation."

Deschamps’ remarks strengthened the confidence of the Monaco players, and the game turned out to be one-sided, and even surprisingly, Monaco got a 4:0 very easily.

Less than 20 minutes into the game, after Zhao Yaning broke through from the right, assisted Roundup to change the score to 1. :0. Just five minutes later, Rothen’s long pass caused chaos in the penalty area. Jiuli seized the opportunity and rewritten the score to 2:0.

Then the game fell completely into Monaco's grasp. Finally, before the end of the first half, Rothen made another long pass to find Roundup, and Roundup scored twice to make the game 3:0. Also ended the suspense early.

This also caused Monaco to relax a lot in the second half of the game. If there is anything special, Panucci and Zhao Yaning, who replaced Geve, tried to make multiple breakthroughs on the right, but the two people did not cooperate very well. Well, there has never been a very good attack.

Even, because of Panucci's forward thrust, he squeezed Giuli's position, so that Giuli had no chance to lean to the center. As a result, Monaco's right wing was not as sharp as it was in the first half.

But even so, before the end of the game, Monaco once again found a chance. Zhao Yaning broke into the penalty area and knocked the ball back to Giuli. Giuli passed it to Pulsau, who had just been on the bench. Pulsau's first shot made the score for Monaco once again widened.

And this score persisted until the end of the game, a **** 4:0, became the start of Monaco this season.

This also caused a lot of reports on this game. Ligue 1 has always been the dullest league in Europe, and the number of goals is so small that Serie A has to be followed. On the one hand, this is because there are too many black players in Ligue 1, and some habits of wild **** have also flowed from Africa, which affects Ligue 1, with fierce defensive actions and strong physical confrontation. On the other hand, it is also because the frontcourt players here generally do not have too strong shooting sights, and a lot of opportunities are squandered at will. This is also a scene in Ligue 1.

Therefore, scoring four goals in a game is definitely a rare big score game in Ligue 1.

But compared to another game, Monaco's three goals were nothing.

The Lyon team faced relegation team Guingamp in the first game of the season, and kicked out a 3:3 score with their opponents.

Six goals in a game, this kind of game is too rare for Ligue 1 to see. Although Lyon played a dominant role in almost the entire game as the defending champion, Guingamp seized the few opportunities and turned them into goals.

Although the Lyon team played very well in this game, it is more remembered that it is indeed Guingamp's left forward Malouda and their center Drogba. The performance of these two black players is really outstanding.

The media is diagnosing problems for Lyon, and Paul Regon's new style of play has also become a problem, and in the corners where no one is paying attention, the games of other teams are just as interesting.

Marseille lost to Nantes in the first game at his home court. However, everyone with a discerning eye can see that Marseille did not do their best in this game. Did you fail to adjust your state, or underestimate the enemy? The media’s words are unreliable. Deschamps always felt that the reason why Marseille did this was because of Marseille’s devil schedule: after Nantes, they faced Monaco’s Blue Coast Derby in the second round and face-to-face in the third round. For Lyon’s Olympic Derby, how could they not stay on the schedule like this?

In another game, Paris defeated Auxerre 1-0 in the first game, which was equally scary.

In the first round, the opponent in Paris was arguably the most difficult one: Although Auxerre's results were not very good, the problem was that they had the Ligue 1 grandfather Guy Rou. This coach, who has coached Auxerre for more than 40 years, is a tough bone that no one wants to encounter. But Paris won the game, which can be said to have made a good start for the four Egypt.

And Bordeaux has also made a good start.

In the first game, they defeated Lille 3:0 and took their solid first step.

After the end of the first round, Monaco also became the top of the league. They all scored three points while still having four goals. With a goal difference, they became the first Ligue 1 for the time being.

But such a first is really meaningless, but it is just the most goals scored in a game. The real tough battle begins with the second game.

Monaco's second game is at home against Marseille, which is also their first derby this season.

Because the three teams of Monaco, Marseille, and Nice are in the same blue coast area, and all three of them are powerful in Ligue 1, the three together have won nearly 20 Ligue 1 championships. Therefore, the clash of these three teams is in the Ligue 1 The league has always been extremely interesting. The two-to-two dialogue between the three is called the Blue Coast Derby. In the Ligue 1 league, his attention is second only to the national derby in Marseille and Paris, and the Olympic derby in Marseille and Lyon.

Before the game arrived, Deschamps had already begun to make preparations in advance.

Marseille has not been very good since the match-fixing case. Although they seemed to have revived after reaching the UEFA Cup final in the 1999 season, afterwards, because Tappi once again entered Marseille, Marseille made countless enemies in the league for a time. After relegation for two consecutive seasons, Marseille has returned to its previous unbearable appearance. Until last season, under the leadership of coach Anigo, they let go of the giants, and the lineup was defined as a 541 formation with three central defenders and double midfielders. With this approach, they played fairly well and won the league first. Nine results, but even so, they are still not optimistic that they can get good results in the new season.

In this game, the Marseille team really did not play like that powerful Marseille dynasty. Soon after the start of the game, they fully contracted to the three defensive areas, and the two ribs of the penalty area were heavily defended. It was completely the way a relegation team met a strong team.

Monaco can do nothing about this defensive strategy. Although they have many ways of attacking, the problem is that none of these attacking methods are completely trustworthy and dependable. Giuly, Nungda, and Rothen have nothing to do with this densely defensive tortoise tactic, and Deschamps thinks of other changes. The only way to fight the situation was to let Evra hit the penalty area and rely on Zhao Yaning's breakthrough to solve the problem.

However, Zhao Yaning's performance in this game still seemed a little at a loss. Behind him is no longer Give, but Panucci, who is both offensive and defensive. It stands to reason that his attack should be even better, but Monaco's right attack has stopped because of this.

During the game, Zhao Yaning had already started running several times, but after seeing Panucci's running position overlapped with himself, he changed the running line. Neither Zhao Yaning nor Panucci had a tacit understanding of cooperating with each other. Every time they got the ball, they had to stop and observe the opponent's position before passing the ball. This kind of pass-through cooperation is not a big problem if it is facing an open opponent, but facing an opponent who fully retreats, such a brief hesitation almost makes the game impossible to go on.

The first half of the game between the two sides was maintained in such a stalemate. Although Monaco attacked continuously, it was because their organization was not good enough and was well guarded by the Marseille team.

In the second half, Deschamps asked Pulsau to replace Roundup-since the right side can't open the situation, then try to change to the left side. Rothen's long pass and Pulsau's header are also a major offensive weapon for Monaco.

But no one thought that just when Monaco was preparing to attack like the first half, the Marseilles offensive suddenly came.

They slammed out of the third defensive zone. After their midfielder Marais passed the ball, the midfielder Merian broke into the penalty area. Marseille only took one kick to make the half of the game. The doable goalkeeper Roma was caught off guard and lost a goal. The score was rewritten to 1:0.

The weird game, coupled with an aggrieved score, made the Monaco players completely angry, but when they tried to give Marseille a look, the Marseille team shrank their lineup to the third defensive zone. ...

This kicking method of shrinking into the tortoise shell after one bite is really speechless.

Zhao Yaning was also a little depressed on the court. It stands to reason that the dialogue between the strong and the strong is to play offensive football with all-out victories, which is higher than whose level of football is. But Marseille is like this now, and it is really contemptuous to play this unshakeable tactic during the derby.

However, Zhao Yaning also admitted that their approach was indeed right. In a strong dialogue, if one party can show the face, don't care about the scene, don't care about shame, just stick to it, the probability of winning is indeed greater. After all, when the strength of each other is similar, the defensive team is always more dominant.

In this case, it was time for his ability to break through in a small area to show its effect... But Zhao Yaning looked at Panucci and sighed helplessly. There is really no tacit understanding between him and Panucci. Whenever he comes to attack, Panucci will go to the bottom line or follow him behind. This makes Zhao Yaning often only choose to break through inside. There is no time to stop, and there is no extra line to choose from. This style of play is too easy to be predicted by the opponent. In addition, the opponent is originally playing defensive football. Whenever he gets the ball, Marais and Marseille's right-back Ferreira will come to press for the first time. With such care, it is difficult for Zhao Yaning to find a decent opportunity.

It would be even better if they cooperated better.

But it is really difficult. Panucci’s return to Monaco was very reluctant for him. Although he did not dare to complain about his professionalism and Deschamps’ high-handed rule, he never complained when he was on the training ground. They refused to give in to Zhao Yaning. And he does have this confidence. His fame and honor are beyond Zhao Yaning's.

Zhao Yaning knew that Panucci had a bad temper and didn't try to persuade him, but how to let him help him has always been a big question for Zhao Yaning.

To this end, he looked through a lot of information, the most of which was the cooperation between Pires and Ashley Cole. Although a lot of things have been absorbed from it, it is still unrealistic for him and Panucci to cooperate like that at this stage.

The ball once again reached Zhao Yaning's feet. Facing Ferreira's pressing, Zhao Yaning pulled the ball, turned around and took two steps away. And he could see clearly that on the side close to the touchline, Panucci jumped in at high speed, while on the other side of him, Marai was stuck there, waiting for him to turn around and break his ball.

Zhao Yaning frowned, but still did not force it. He kicked the ball to Panucci who told him to insert, and he bypassed Ferreira and inserted the penalty area toward the ribs of the penalty area.

Panucci rushed directly to the bottom line, and when there was no guard, he made a pass.

Although his passing standard was not bad, Pulsau, who was surrounded by three central defenders, had no chance to jump up and watched the ball fall to the feet of Marseille players.

Still the same, there is a lack of understanding and understanding between the two people. Zhao Yaning looked at Panucci, but Panucci just turned his head and left without saying anything.

After getting the ball again, Zhao Yaning was not looking for cooperation, but he took advantage of the situation, and then made a big change, throwing off the two defenders.

But the defenders in front of him had already laid out their defenses, and Zhao Yaning's breakthrough was intercepted again.

"That won't work." Jiuli walked to him when the ball was cleared out of the boundary. "Their defenses are very tight, and our ability to cooperate is insufficient. We will be suffocated alive if we kick this way. Think of a way. To break their defense."

Zhao Yaning looked at Jiuli, at least there was nothing he could do now.

"I will help you when you make a surprise attack in the middle in a while. Attract the other's attention, and then directly give the ball to Jerome. We must be connected in series."

Zhao Yaning understood what Jiuli said.

And immediately, another attack opportunity came to his feet. Zhao Yaning didn't turn his back after catching the ball this time. Instead, he buckled to the side, and then slowly accelerated, stepping on a bicycle under his feet.

He was playing very slowly at this time, but it was this way of playing that made the opponent dare not come over. Zhao Yaning's explosive power is very strong, and it will be troublesome to accelerate suddenly. And when he is stepping on the bicycle slowly, he may accelerate and change direction at any time, which makes his opponents dare not care.

And this time Marais also came over and attacked. Two people deal with one, and such a defensive approach to Zhao Yaning is their strategy.

But Zhao Yaning's purpose is to attract them all to the side road.

Zhao Yaning's upper body suddenly leaned to the right, making a breakthrough, which immediately moved the two people in front of him. And Zhao Yaning immediately moved the ball back and moved the ball from the back of his left foot to the left, and his body immediately tilted to the right. This kind of action made Marais lean over immediately, but Zhao Yaning didn't wait for his body to lean over, he immediately pulled the ball again, and at the same time, he took a step to the right and blocked Ferreira behind him with his body. , And also let a position flash out between two people.

Gyuli and Evra started to rush together in the penalty area, and almost all of Marseille's defense line was piled up in the opponent's penalty area. At this time, Roten had already reached the position of the midfielder, completely empty. The tactical arrangement has played a role, this time the ball should be passed...

But at this time, Panucci ran past him, already inserted into the penalty area.

His position is better, but can you still trust him? The cooperation between him and Zhao Yaning was not successful almost once, and there was nothing about him tactically...

However, Zhao Yaning still passed the ball.

Panucci stopped the ball well while running at high speed, but the Marseille defender had already seen that the problem was on the right side and a fierce tackle had come. Panucci collided with the opponent and fell into the penalty area.

"Penalty!"

Jiuli and Zhao Yaning yelled out almost at the same time. The referee also blew the whistle, and his finger pointed to the penalty spot.

"This is really the penalty for turning the tide of the battle." Zhao Yaning said in his heart, ran to Panucci who was still sitting in the penalty area, "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay." Panucci glanced at him and forced a smile. "Yes, I know that you pass the ball to me. I thought, you dare not listen."

"Whoever has the ball on the field, controls the initiative, doesn't it?" Zhao Yaning pulled Panucci, "but we should really consider how to cooperate. Otherwise, if this goes on, we will definitely play. It's not good to play."

"For this kind of thing, you should come to me. You are the little brother, and I am the elder brother. Can't you wait for me to find you?" Panucci blinked at him.

"I thought that none of you Italians like training very much... and they all said that you have a bad temper, and I am afraid that you will upset you." Zhao Yaning stuck out his tongue and laughed.

"I never lose my temper to good people." Panucci looked at Pulsau who was approaching the penalty spot, and walked over, "Hey, big man. I made the penalty. It's not your turn to take the penalty. Wait outside the penalty area. Shoot it up."

Pulseau glanced at him, said nothing, and walked away.

"You go." Panucci waved at Zhao Yaning, "Go for the penalty, and take out the scoring bonus for a treat."

Zhao Yaning pointed to himself, UU reading www.uukanshu.com couldn't believe it.

"Go, you deserve it." Panucci patted him and walked away by himself.

Zhao Yaning walked to the penalty spot, looked at the goal in front of him, and then took a few steps, suddenly hit the ball to the lower right corner.

The ball was scored and the score was rewritten to 1-1.

This goal changed the score, and the score was 1-1 until the end of the game. The first Derby of Monaco and Marseille ended in a draw.

"Although we finally evened the score, we actually exposed a lot of problems. We have almost nothing to do when facing a strong defensive team. This is absolutely impossible. You must know that one of our biggest enemies is the Lyon team. , Is a strong defensive team. If we have nothing to do with them, then we will be out of luck. I don’t want to play defensive football that has better patience than anyone else. I know you don’t like the whole game. The game is worrying about the defensive leaks. Then, if you want to play offensive football, you have to explode all your power and kick it out quickly."

After the game, Deschamps did not praise them for their equalizer, but yelled at them for their weak offense.

"In the future, we must have more offensive tactics, not always confined to ourselves. The three lines should be connected more in series, large-scale transfers can appear at an appropriate time, and Joey, you can try to change positions. Go in the middle. If you just want to involve the opponent, there will be more space in the middle to involve you in the opponent's defense. But don't try to break through the middle, it is more difficult to break through the middle, and there is no need to take risks."

After losing his temper, Deschamps began to explain his tactics. The tactics class after the game didn't end until very late.

"I hope you understand that our goal is to be champions. The result of failure is something I cannot tolerate."
